Worth every penny representing our country as they do…:cheer2:

That particular trip was worth it just to see how badly it blew up in their face :hee:

Arista you know how the world works, you scratch my back and il scratch yours.

Yes, but this is getting worse
he helped a Conservative
get richer.
On a failed venture.



Is Prince Charles
the best choice to take over from the Queen?

He has spent his whole life waiting to be king and he will be king
No one in this world is perfect.

Yes I get that

But I think more Shocking Front Pages
may end that
soon.

Unfortunately, the sterling work the Royals do isn’t reported; unlike the few negatives that arise now and then that show they are as human as anybody else.
In truth, they do a hell of a lot more good than they do harm.

In the case of Prince Charles, this is just one of his charitable initiatives:

The Princes Trust.

The Prince's Trust help 11 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed or struggling at school to transform their lives.
Since The Prince of Wales set up The Prince’s Trust in 1976, more than 870,000 disadvantaged young people across the UK have been supported by the Trust and helped to move into work, education or training. www.princes-trust.org.uk

The Prince's Trust International

The Prince's Trust International works to combat the global issue of youth unemployment and focuses on supporting young people overseas. www.princestrustinternational.org

Nothing will stop him becoming king and il have bet with you on it.

Sure, it looks that way,
But I think we need a back up,
in case, he could get caught in a big scandal.

They handled controversy well and with dignity....they knew they were going to have to confront the situation and got on with the job...

Unlike Meghan and Harrys trip to S.Africa...a mission to highlight the treatment, rape and corruption of young women only for them to make it all about them... "nobody asked me if I was OK..." :bawling:

:clap1: ... and that's the massive difference between Kate/Wills and Meghan/Harry and why the former are greatly admired and the latter are very much not.

.

Recollections may vary

And this thread isn't about Harry and Meghan? Cute they are the standard you hold William and Kate to though :hee:

Threads not about them..
It's about charles.:hehe:

Correct and some have yet to even comment on the actual topic.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's £246,000 Africa tour was the most expensive royal trip of 2019
Rebecca Taylor·25 September

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s tour in Africa last October was the most expensive royal trip of the year, costing £246,000 for travel alone, accounts have revealed.

:facepalm:

Then Practice what you preach…:pat:

So thoughts on Charles and his dodgy Qatar cash??? Shocking isn't it

….and they made it all about THEM….as they have done ever since.

Not shocking…foolish :hee:

Very true, I don't think that's something to smile about though.

The charities that benefited from the cash were smiling.

I was smiling at your over reaction….it’s hardly ‘shocking’ unless you are naive enough to think this stuff has never happened before :hee:

Exactly.

Sure they would have really struggled without it....

Should have known personal attacks are all you have to offer.

i wonder how much of the cash ended up in back pockets on the way to the bank

That’s why they should skip Charlie boy ..

There were people on here foaming at the mouth when Meghan took her child out for a walk…

How dramatic. :laugh:

As I've said before, no -one cares what Meghan does with her feet, it’s the s*** that comes out of her mouth that is the problem.

Hardly a personal attack by insinuating you are naive to think this stuff does not go on…. :laugh:

The cash thing stinks a bit to me. It was paid into the PWCF but not mentioned in the accounts if I understand that correctly? Seems fishy to me. Sure it happens a lot but any donations should be completely auditable surely? His charity fund also finances his Scottish estate....so where did that money go?

We are not discussing Meghan…did you not get the brief :hee:

You post this like it's some sort of excuse, it's not. It doesn't seem you find it all that foolish if you're aware of this going on and yet still support Charles.

I don’t understand why he would take it in that way, he can’t be short of cash plus it was in euros

Good Point.

It does all seem odd. Apparently any donations are allowed but should be in the form of a cheque. It just seems a bit dodgy.

Yes it did look dodgy….and a crass way of doing business.

I admit I would have accepted it too - a massive amount of money to benefit the people that needed it from his charities. I truly believe Charles would not have had a thought of pocketing any of it. There has not been any suggestion that he might have.

people seem to be under the misconception that charities and public figures are averse to sticking their head in the trough
